system.conf question

[Mark S. Townsley]

They aren't running as the same user.

Server is running as root but client is setuid to someone else (mostly
nobody).

Is there a doc somewhere that explains how DBUS authentication works?
Does the authentication module handles setuid bit well?
I don't see anything being mentioned in the C API nor in the doc.
